the greatest to ever kick the ball real hard at the goal

Look, forget the noise. Ignore everyone else. What a night.
They prioritized this trophy and gave the pundits ammo. They just shut them all up.
Tottenham Hotspur. Champions once more.

#BillsMafia thoughts on the win over the Ravens.
The overwhelming narrative was that the Ravens were so much better than the Bills so it’s natural to believe the Ravens beat themselves. That only the Ravens can beat the Ravens.
I guess they’re All Pros at that - they did it 6 times in 19 games.

It’s Bills playoff gameday.
The discourse on Bills/Ravens is fascinating.
“Game of the year.”
“Battle of the MVPs.”
“Elite matchup.”
Then you listen to the national media and you wonder if the Bills need to just hold out until Gandalf comes over the Rockpile with the Rohirrim.
That Week 4 game is casting a long shadow.

Thanks for this @wertwhile.bsky.social.
The team was running very hot until the injuries hit - the goal difference has basically been cut in half and the per game opponent adjusted xG delta has really shrunken.
That keeps me hopeful better health and a (hopefully) bigger squad can turn the tide.

Wrote up just how bad I think Tottenham's luck has been this season having nothing to do with injuries. wertwhile.substack.com/p/ange-and-t...
Ange and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Season
Tottenham Hotspur have 24 points from 21 matches this season in the Premier League, a 43-44 point pace.

That was the banana peel for the Bills - all the press was hedging with “you’re not going to believe how close this actually is!”
It wasn’t. Helluva job on both sides.
The Bills are either who #BillsMafia think they are or who everyone else says they are.
Go get it done. Legacy Tour Stop 2.

This is the best offense of the JA17 era. The D has its strengths and weaknesses.
They absolutely can win it all, but there are four tough tests left. If they do it, there can be no arguing with the achievement.
Time for Josh write his own narrative and prove his greatness. L.F.G.

Insightful read. Underscores the dangers of under- or even uninformed punditry that seems to be everywhere regarding Spurs.

Cool listen We’re in such a fun chapter of Bills fandom and it’s nice to see national folks digging to understand it. Much more interesting that another MVP debate!

I honestly wonder how many other people even clocked that a song from Iron Eagle was playing in the background of this clip but 12 year old me has never felt so seen. Never say die indeed.

Commentators who do not solely follow Spurs use generalities and lazy conventional wisdom go from softly mocking an Ange comment without context to marveling over a Kulu goal is delicious.

Week 15 NFL Thread (Josh Allen)
The point total is obscuring how the #BillsMafia D improved yesterday.
Ignoring end of half drives, they stopped the Rams once.
They stopped the Lions 5 times. In the first 7 drives. The lead was then 21 points.
They then played a soft zone and the Lions aired it out. The lead shrank.

Big day for #BillsMafia but I’m more worried about the process and especially the effort than the result.
Winning the game would be amazing but a bounce back performance from the D is the most important thing.
Not conceding the 1 seed but it’s unlikely. Get right & go get the 2 down the stretch.

Next day Bills thoughts:
1&G play call poor
Timeout awful - run a second play despite the time it takes
Special teams execution terrible
However, everyone is talking like forcing a Rams 3&out was a given
Rams likely conservative in that game state but only one 3&out all game prior to last drive

Penn State? Spurs? Close but not good enough.
Only one man can save the weekend.

Busy with kid stuff today.
Can’t wait to watch Spurs City asap.
Sure the clean sheet flatters but Spurs are an xG machine against everyone…other than Ispwich.
With City missing Rodri and Kovacic we shouldn’t be surprised Spurs created so much offensively.
4-0 though? To dare is to do.
